John Glenn’s World Language Honor Society Lends Girl Scout A Hand
The honor society helped fellow student Ellie Crowley complete her Girl Scout Gold Award project: a kindness rock garden at a food pantry.
ELWOOD, NY — Elwood-John H. Glenn High School’s World Language Honor Society recently volunteered to help fellow student, Ellie Crowley, complete her Girl Scout Gold Award project, the Elwood School District announced.
Crowley is creating a kindness rock garden at the Harry Chapin Food Pantry to provide mental health resources to its recipients. After a brief presentation from Crowley, students gathered to paint the rocks for the garden.
"I was inspired by my sister and brother who volunteered within Long Island Cares, which is the
organization that runs the food pantry," Crowley said. "I wanted to advocate for mental health because it has been an increasingly important issue in our generation and has been often overlooked in select communities."
